Maximum Volume for High-Demand Pneumatic Systems
The NKC NL23SF is a premium, large-bore air coupler engineered in Japan by Yoshida Mfg. Co. This "Hi-Flo" Nitto-profile coupler features a 3/8" BSP Female thread, making it the ideal choice for mounting directly to air compressor outlets, manifold blocks, or heavy-duty 3/8" drop lines. By combining a 3/8" port with a High-Flow valve, the NL23SF eliminates air starvation in your most powerful pneumatic tools.

Why Choose the NKC NL Series?
- Japanese Precision Engineering: Unlike standard fittings, NKC couplers are machined to incredibly tight tolerances, ensuring a 100% airtight seal even after years of industrial use.
- Optimized CFM Delivery: The internal valve geometry is designed to provide unrestricted airflow, essential for 1/2" and 3/4" impact wrenches and air sanders.
- Extreme Durability: Heat-treated steel construction resists the "hammering" of high-vibration tools and prevents wear on the locking balls.
- Seamless One-Hand Connection: A smooth, high-tension spring sleeve allows for effortless, one-handed tool changes in fast-paced workshops.
Installation Tip for 3/8" Ports
When mounting the NL23SF to a manifold or compressor, ensure you are using a 3/8" BSP male fitting. Because this is a high-flow component, we recommend using a high-flow 3/8" lead-in hose to ensure you aren't bottlenecking the air supply before it reaches this premium coupler.
